2003-2004 Graduate Status Report Synopsis
 
The information contained in this table is intended to briefly summarize the more detailed information contained in this report. For information concerning actual employers, job locations, job titles and salaries by major, please refer to the body of the report. There are limitations to the scope of this table; all percentages are based on the information supplied by respondents to the surveys, rather than the total number of graduates in that major. There is an appreciable number of graduates who did not respond, and we have no knowledge of their employment status. Additionally, a table is not cognizant of individual circumstances: entrepreneurs, persons in the midst of a decision making process, or persons who attended college for reasons other than preparing for a career. No long-range conclusions or predictions should be made on the basis of this table alone.
